Explosive Interview Reveals Chinese Triads and CCP’s Role in North American Money Laundering and Drug Trafficking
In a revealing interview, David Asher, a former senior investigator with the U.S. State Department, CIA, and DEA Special Operations Division, has disclosed alarming details about the extent of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) involvement in North American money laundering and drug trafficking networks. According to Asher, these operations are orchestrated through a “command and control” structure centered in Toronto, Canada, and are linked to notorious Markham-based narco-kingpin Tse Chi Lop, also known as ‘Brother Number 3.’
Asher asserts that the U.S. government possesses irrefutable evidence that Chinese Triad leaders, such as Tse Chi Lop, are working hand-in-hand with the CCP to facilitate global money laundering and drug trafficking activities. These operations reportedly involve Mexican cartels and are described as integral components of the CCP’s strategy to undermine Western nations, particularly the United States and Canada.
Key Findings from the Interview
- Chinese State-Triad Nexus: Asher claims that Chinese Triads, including the 14K and Sun Yee On, have been co-opted by the CCP to assist in global money laundering and drug trafficking, with a specific focus on North America.
- Toronto Command Center: U.S. investigations indicate that the command-and-control operations for North American money laundering are primarily based in Toronto, with ties to other Canadian cities. This network is allegedly responsible for laundering billions of dollars in fentanyl-related cash through major U.S. and Canadian banks.
- Role of Chinese Students: Asher revealed that Chinese international students in the U.S. are being used as mules by Triads to deposit fentanyl cash into North American banks, under the direction of Beijing’s United Front Work Department.
- TD Bank Under Scrutiny: Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD Bank) is facing multi-billion-dollar fines due to its alleged involvement in laundering fentanyl-related funds. Asher suggests that TD’s case is just “the tip of the iceberg,” with other major U.S. banks potentially implicated as well.
- Canadian Inaction: Asher criticized the Canadian government for its inadequate cooperation in the investigations, suggesting that political and financial influences may be hampering effective law enforcement.
- Fentanyl Crisis Link: The failure to disrupt these networks is contributing to the ongoing fentanyl crisis, which claims tens of thousands of lives annually in the U.S. and Canada.
- Beijing’s Role in Meth Trafficking: Asher also disclosed that U.S. Congressional investigators allege that the Chinese government is subsidizing the export of methamphetamine and fentanyl precursors, further exacerbating the crisis.
Call for Action
Asher, currently a Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, is calling for stronger international cooperation and more aggressive action to dismantle these sophisticated transnational criminal networks. He warns that without immediate and decisive action, the fentanyl crisis and related criminal activities will continue to pose a grave threat to North American security.
This interview serves as a dire warning about the deep-rooted connections between Chinese Triads, the CCP, and North American financial institutions, underscoring the urgent need for a comprehensive strategy to combat these dangerous networks.
